Hacıemiroğulları

The Hacıemiroğulları, also called the Bayramoğulları, were a Turkoman beylik of the Chepni tribe on the Black Sea coast of Canik, known to Byzantine Greeks as the emirate of Chalybia. In 1335 and 1336 the first bey, Bayram, threw off Eretnid overlordship; in 1337 his newly independent realm had its capital near Mesudiye.

Bayram besieged Trebizond unsuccessfully in 1348. His son Hacıemir, after whom the dynasty is named, fought Trebizond before marrying the emperor's daughter Theodora in 1358; allied with Kadı Burhan al-Din, he seized Ordu and moved his capital there in 1380.

Civil war between Hacıemir and his son Süleyman weakened the beylik, though Süleyman took Giresun in 1397. The dynasty accepted Ottoman suzerainty, briefly regained independence after Timur's victory at Ankara in 1402, and was annexed in 1427.
